Alright, I may be over thinking this, but I'm having trouble setting up these coilovers and camber plates from T3.

First this is what I have to work with - 280zx front struts and KYB 280zx shock absorbers, T3 camber plates, top hats and coilovers.and i do have more nylon lock nuts but only one of (Nut A in the picture).

I'm trying to figure out where to run the spacers (C,D,E) I know i only need one for each side, and whatever one i use, is the one I use for both. but does this go above the camber plates, or below slid onto the strut (which if i use any of them I cannot fit nut A)

What keeps the shock absorbed from flailing back and forth inside the camber plates?Space between shock and camber plate holeThe only thing i can think of, would be to use the nut A in the first picture but I only have one.

And last, shouldnt the coilover be attached to the top of the shock absorber like this persons,

and not sitting half way, like mine

Thank you guys, After owning the car for a year, the car is about to run for the first time since 1999.

I was able to get the insert to work with the camber plate nut that came with the setup, but they only supplied me with one. Anyone know how to get another one? Ive tried contacting T3 but they wont respond.

Similar to this (in first picture)

Threaten to send everything back due to an incomplete kit that is rendering it useless, lack of communication and responce. Seems to always work for me when those times come a calling.

Stock 510 top hats have large bearings in them to ease steering. Needle bearing tops duplicate that for those with camber plates. In some camber plate configurations without the needle bearing tops, you're metal-on-metal when steering. That's not good.
